I have never worked with companies that chose OVH or Hetzner (or Scaleway or any other EU provider) for something else than doing things cheap.
They don't care at all about the provider being a local or European company.
They just want the cheapest option.
Which usually means using the same server to host dev/UAT/prod, and also using the extra storage available to store company data unrelated to the workloads hosted on the server.
Whereas the companies that are using big clouds are more focused on doing things with more care, and trying to avoid as much disaster as possible.
But I guess having PII data exposed on the web from an Hetzner server is better than having everything encrypted on AWS...
